Sheila and Dave-Steve and I are sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad. He sounded like a really strong, funny, and caring person. You're fortunate to have had him as your Dad and I know you'll have a lot of good memories. We will keep praying for his soul, your mom, and you and your family. Let us know if we can help in any way. Love-the Sabo's
